Google.GData.Apps.dll
-
Google.GData.Client.dll

using
System.Web;
using

using
System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using
System.Data;
using
Google.GData.Contacts;
using
Google.GData.Client;
using
Google.GData.Extensions;
using
Google.Contacts;
public
partial class
_Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
public DataSet
GetGmailContacts(string AppName,
string Uname, string
UPassword)
{
DataSet ds =
new DataSet();
DataTable dt =
new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add(new
DataColumn("EmailID",
typeof(string)));
dt.Columns.Add(new
DataColumn("Name",
typeof(string)));
RequestSettings rs =
new RequestSettings(AppName,
Uname, UPassword);
rs.AutoPaging = true;
ContactsRequest cr =
new ContactsRequest(rs);
Feed<Contact>
f = cr.GetContacts();
foreach (Contact
t in f.Entries)
{
foreach (EMail
email in t.Emails)
{
DataRow dr1 = dt.NewRow();
dr1["EmailID"] =
email.Address.ToString();
dr1["Name"] =
t.Title.ToString();
dt.Rows.Add(dr1);
}
}
ds.Tables.Add(dt);
return ds;
}
protected void
Page_Load(object sender,
EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void btnLogin_Click(object
sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataSet ds = GetGmailContacts("Gmail
Contact Operations!", txtName.Text, txtPwd.Text);
ViewState["Contact"] = ds;
gvContacts.DataSource = ds;
gvContacts.DataBind();
}
protected void
gvContacts_PageIndexChanging(object sender,
GridViewPageEventArgs e)
{
DataSet ds = ViewState["Contact"]
as DataSet;
gvContacts.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
gvContacts.DataSource = ds;
gvContacts.DataBind();
}
}
